Intel SS4200-E: RAID 5 Parameters?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:47:55 GMT

Hi there!

I'm trying to recover the data on my RAID 5 that was in my SS4200-E unit.

I plugged in the 3 working drives to a PC, and ran Runtime Software RAID Reconstructor on it.

However, I still cannot find the RAID 5 array, and is asking for some RAID 5 parameters:

Block Size: 4KB?

Parity Rotation: Foward/Backward/Backward(Dynamic Disk)??

Start Sectors to probe: (it auto-suggested 7,15)

Number of Sectors to probe: (it suggested 10000)

Or does anyone know of another utility that might be able to recover the data from the RAID5 disks?

Any help is greatly apprecaited!

AMT Web UI - SCCM Provisioned

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:15:34 GMT

Hi all!

I am having difficulty obtaining access to the Web UI on an SCCM provisioned device. I can successfully reach the Web UI at https://FQDN:16993

When i try to login however, the AMT Accounts i specified in SCCM are not working. I found a post by Trevor at http://communities.intel.com/thread/3037 outlining a similar situation. I have tried logging into the web ui from the SCCM server without success. I have tried inputing the registry key required by the KB article but that did not work as well. I have confirmed that the Kerberos ticket IS issued however the ticket is issued to an SPN of HTTP/FQDN and not HTTP/FQDN:PORT. Is this correct?

example

HTTP/laptop.domain.com instead of HTTP/laptop.domain.com:16993

I have verified that the SPN's for the OOB object in AD (created during the provision process) contains SPN's for 16992,16993,16994,16995

I have included a network sniff below showing what is going on. Anybody experience this at all?

Deploying Windows Vista and Windows 7 on Dell Latitude E6500 with SCCM 2007

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:02:24 GMT

Dear Expert,

For Two weeks I have been trying to deploy Windows Vista and Windows 7 on Dell Latitude E6500, E4300, M6400 with SCCM 2007. I injected the driver that came with the system into the boot image and tried to Build and Capture an image from the E6500 but it stops at Apply Operating System with error code 0x80070002. All the suggestion I have read points to the fact that the network driver for this model has been upgraded on the Intel site. I downloaded the 82567LM dated September 2009. I extracted the files from the exe file and pointed the SCCM driver configuration to the folder that contains all the upgraded driver files. When the system boots up to apply Operating System again, still came up with the error 0x80070002.

I have captured and deployed Vista image from/to other Dell models (GX620, GX270, D600, D420) successfully using the injected nic drivers.

Could any help with this problem as Dell, Microsoft and Intel seem not to be aligning on the proper network driver for the new Dell models.

Please Help

Intel 5300 Half Mini PCI-E card issues

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:26:36 GMT

I have an Acer 11.6" Aspire One AO751H netbook. I want to upgrade the wireless-G to N. This model takes the half size mini pci-e cards. I just recently purchased the Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 card. Installed it yesterday, booted the computer, computer POSTs, so far so good. It recognized the card right away and the driver installation was successful. The wifi activity light works, the card is recognized, and the card's radio is on, but it is unable to detect any networks. It just flashes that little balloon at the bottom saying "wireless networks unavailable". Try to refresh the network list, and i still get nothing. I tried turning the card off, then on again, but nothing. I checked on the driver in Device Manager, and it says it is functioning properly.

I have the most up-to-date BIOS and I am running 32-bit XP Pro (downgraded from the factory installed VISTA). I was wondering if maybe there was an issue with the antennas? The 5300 card has 3 antenna inputs, but the laptop only has two antennas. I was told on numerous forums that it would still function fine with only two antennas, however. I obtained the most up-to-date driver for the card right from intel's website and it installed without any issues at all. Does anyone have any input on to why this card seems to have installed fine, but cannot detect wireless networks? I don't think there is any defects with the card. Is it possible that it just isnt compatible with my netbook (Aspire One AO751H), or maybe the chipset (which isn't actually an intel chipset, intel just stuck their name on it)? Or maybe this card just will not function without 3 antennas hooked up, although I heard it would function with only 2.

I just feel that if there was a compatibility issue, the computer wouldn't POST, wouldnt recognize the card, would flash error messages, something would be going on. Below I have posted some pictures in order for everyone to get a better idea of my situation. What could be wrong?

It is unable to recognize any networks, but the card is enabled and "on", and the radio is functioning, it just cannot detect networks.

This is the old card. It has an "AUX" (Auxilary) and a "MAIN" input. The black wire went to the MAIN, and the white went to the AUX.

This is what the new card looks like in the unit. The intel 5300 has three inputs. I have tried many different configurations with the wires and none have worked.

SRCSAS18E Issues

GUI launches but has no hosts to connect to.

2) ESX. I was hoping to use this RAID controller nativly with ESX VMware-VMvisor-Installer-4.0.0.Update01-208167.x86_64

It sees the 4.5 TB space but when you go to add the storage you it only displays "useable 554GB" and even from shell console, fdisk of the device shows it as 4.5TB but can only create a partition 554GB in size.

3) Documentation on RAID controller is a bit sparse in relation to a few details. Example: Getting notification of drive failure (predictive failure), is this reported throught the driver to the OS error system etc. and how to test this. Does the server install start a deamon / service /process ID that should be checked if you can't connect to web interface.

PCI Express 1.0 card in 2.0 socket: is it possible to get those working?

pokotilenko@mail.ru — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:09:24 GMT

Hi,

I've SR1630HGP server with S3420GPLC motherboard which have PCI Express 2.0 sockets. Also we've got Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter which is PCI Express 1.0a.

The NIC is not being started/visible by OS (Linux lspci). I was unable to find the compatibility information in the net besides that PCI-e 1.1 card would work in PCI-e 2.0 socket.

So the question is: are those two compatible? Why? If yes, how to get them be friends?

Enormous problem with Intel 4200E

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:18:52 GMT

Just had a power hit for 2 hours......4200E on UPS did a proper shutdown when signalled that the UPS batt was going down.....(at least it looks like it, I wasn't there)....

Now it reawakes with the following status (4 orange lights on the drives) and status box on the dashboard with:

	Status Messages
	Data on your device is unavailable. 4 disks on the device have existing data that will need to be overwritten to re-enable storage. Click here to authorize overwriting existing data.

I've got 1.6G of stuff on this thing. How do I get access to my data back?

I am going to shutdown till I hear SOMETHING from you guys......

Personal e-mail is available if needed. I need this thing back.....was going to do a full backup after thanksgiving (buying the disks for another backup unit on Black Friday...) right now I have NO backup, cuz I EXPECT an intel devie with RAID 5 to NOT go belly up like this.....(I have another 4200E with no drives in it as a HW spare....would that help?)

The links I tried just sent me to places like faqs but no dwnload buttons.

Any help would be appreicated.Thanks, adrian

Windows 2008 on I7-860 (LGA1156) on a ASUS P7P55D motherboard

I needed a new Windows 2008 server in order to develop and test things like Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. I went to my local MicroCenter and they suggested an Intel I7-860 (LGA1156) on a ASUS P7P55D motherboard. Initially I tried the 64 install which gave many errors during installation. I then did the I386 install which worked better but it isn't perfect. Currently I am having problems loading the network driver that comes on the ASUS board. Am I barking up the wrong tree with this combination? Should this be a 64 bit installation? Is there another processor that you could suggest that would work on this board? Putting the equipment together was pretty simple. Once I started to install the software I encountered issues. I would generally just buy a server from Dell but I was really trying to save some bucks here.
